Pros

The company pays well and there are good people working there. The perks also are pretty nice.

Cons

It's very performance-focused with little practical tools to measure performance objectively, so performance is in my opinion often not judged fairly (including when it comes to promotion). Since the company has changed its focus on efficiency (reducing spending), they are trying to double down on this inefficient performance process, and my feeling is that that is turning the environment toxic. At the managerial position this is most evident.

Pros

I love being able to work around truly passionate people who are ready to change the world. The culture is great, free snacks and food is big plus. I had the opportunity to take ownership of projects within my first month

Cons

The hours are much longer than any other job I've worked in, but this is expected to change as we continue hiring more help
